There is a lot of trip planning that goes into these loads. We can’t just pull over and stop anywhere because we are just too big for some parking lots. On top of that all the extra rules and restrictions with limited travel times and route restrictions and escort requirements it takes a lot of planning.

Stingers and jeeps and all-sorts. The trouble with Baltimore, Newark, Wilmington and the like is that they were never constructed with rigs of this length in mind. I used to be in and out of all the East Coast ports supervising guys like yourselves and it never failed to amaze me how you guys got in with your export loads and out with the imports. All those Jersey barricades put there to direct traffic were an absolute nightmare for an 8-axle let alone what you guys pilot. Great work, boys and girls.

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

You are very correct. Unfortunately some of the newer construction still doesn’t take into scout the larger trucks on the road these days. Round abouts are getting more popular in North America and they are a nightmare for oversize drivers.

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

On a car trailer a simple solution would be to have an override suspension valve. It overinflates the air bags and raises up about 6 inches. We have this on all our trailers and some trucks as well.

It’s a popular spot! We have pickups in Baltimore every week

[@neggym]

Strange to see the difference. Here in Denmark/ Europe, such a load would be transported on a bit shorter trailer. We don’t have this kind of trailer set up. Our trailers have hydraulic rear steer, so cornering is much easier. Oh and most heavy hauling trailers also have hydraulic height adjustment. But the downside is, much more parts can break/fail.

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

I’m not going to lie. North America is way behind the rest of the world when it comes to road construction and transport. Steerable trailers do exist here however the companies have not yet accepted to cost of them. The mentality is the cheaper old style still gets the job done. And our road engineers have not yet figured out how to accept shorter trailers. They want the weight spread out as much as possible. Often my trailer is required to be even longer than the load just because it is required on the permits. It can definitely be more complicated to drive but that’s why I’m paid the big bucks 🤣

This was very interesting to watch and also to follow along on Google Maps, pinpointing the intersections using visual clues in your video. When you need to cross a railway track, is it possible to arrange with the railroad an exclusive-occupancy permit for the relevant tracks so as to prevent getting hit by a train should you have become hung up on the tracks? (After you clear the tracks you would contact the railway again and cancel the occupancy permit.)

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

Unfortunately we don’t work closely with the railroad unless we think it is really necessary. There is a cost to everything and the budget for transport just doesn’t allow for being over cautious.

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

The piece needs to go between the wheels for the height. We need all the wheels for the weight that’s why it’s so long. Canada required less escorts than the USA but I still had one following. That’s who you hear on the radio. What I dislike most about my job is what you can’t see. The inconsistency. These projects are mostly short term or even one time deals. We have a lot of down time between projects (we still work but it’s more general transport)

[@JohnSchneider-rl7iv]

I have noticed that you were driving through a lot of Red Lights. Is there a reason for that?

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

Depends on the sur constances. For example when turning sometimes the only way practical to get a break in the traffic is to go after the light turns red. We are very long and we move very slowly. Another example is if there is a turn light sensor in the road but we need to be in another lane to make the wide turn so we will never activate the sensor.

Comment vous planifier vos routes ?

[@Hazmatt3446]

First time on channel. Great work, awesome video quality. I thought your lead escorts left you hangin a couple of times, like the traffic circle, your tail escort was on point. Why three radios? Thanks 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

CB, UHF I use often with escorts because it’s more clear and better range and our company has its own channels, VHF is used a lot in western Canada and on remote wilderness roads because it has better range. Thanks for following along ✌️

Comment vous planifiez vos routes ?

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

On a toute une équipe au bureau qui se spécialise à planifier les trajets. Ils doivent considérer les virages serrés, des zones de construction, la hauteur des viaducs, des ponts aux poids réduits… toute une job!

[@SuperIrishphil]

Interesting video👍👍. What was the area you pulled into with all other wide loads?

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

It’s a designated oversize load parking in Baltimore. There is a lot of oversize traffic to and from the port so they try to make sure we always have a place to park.

Ça doit coûter une fortune une remorque comme celle la !

@19:41 I think the front pilot cars could be doing a bit more to help with traffic. Seems like they're just driving in front.

Why did you cross the streets of Buffalo to take the Peace Bridge instead of staying on the I-290 and taking the Lewiston Bridge?

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

We ran back roads most of the way across New York. We had to avoid the interstate system because of the load height.

[@wickedpawn5437]

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Interesting. Thanks. You have one of the best jobs on the planet. I do the Toronto - Charlotte, NC trip back and forth frequently and know the drive well. The last one was driving a 7-feet cargo truck loaded up with all my stuff and back to Toronto empty. Enjoyed every second of it. Can't wait for the next one.
